The Platform & Data Product organization sits within Expedia Group’s wider Product function and is responsible for building the foundational data and AI capabilities that power our global travel ecosystem. The team oversees Expedia Group’s data products, enterprise data domains, analytics platforms, AI/ML platforms, streaming and experimentation platforms, metrics platforms, and the governance and quality frameworks that underpin them. We partner closely with engineering teams across the business to deliver scalable, reliable, and AI‑ready data infrastructure.
This role will own the vision and roadmap for a next‑generation data discoverability platform that makes certified data products findable, understandable, and usable for every data producer and consumer. By turning discovery into a self‑service, AI‑enhanced experience, you will reduce toil, raise data‑quality perception, and accelerate high‑value end‑to‑end initiatives that drive growth and operational efficiency across the company.
In this role, you will:
- Own and drive the vision, strategy, and multi-year roadmap for an AI-enhanced data catalog that makes trusted data assets searchable, understandable, and reusable across the organization.
- Define and deliver scalable data platform capabilities spanning metadata capture (schemas, lineage, data contracts), governance, discovery, and access via self-service UIs and APIs.
- Build and evolve a data trust and certification framework, enabling users to assess dataset quality, ownership, observability, and SLAs with confidence.
- Embed AI-driven discovery features such as semantic search, natural language query, and recommendations to improve data discoverability and reduce time to insight.
- Translate complex platform and business needs into a clear, outcome-driven roadmap, prioritizing based on impact, feasibility, and measurable results.
- Partner with engineering, data, analytics, and business teams to deliver reliable and scalable platform solutions.
- Define and track adoption and impact metrics (e.g., catalog usage, certified dataset ratio, time-to-find reductions, user satisfaction).
- Champion platform quality, scalability, and governance, while driving broad adoption across teams.
Minimum Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree or equivalent professional experience.
- 10+ years of product management or related technology experience, including ownership of complex platform or data products.
- Experience leading data-centric products or platforms (e.g., data catalogs, metadata systems, data quality frameworks, data contracts, analytics enablement platforms).
- Deep background in data analysis, analytics, or data engineering, with strong understanding of data ecosystems and workflows.
- Proven track record of defining and executing product strategy and roadmaps for complex, cross-functional data platforms, with measurable business impact.
- Strong technical fluency in APIs, data modeling, and distributed systems, including experience working on always-on data platforms and data flow architectures.
- Demonstrated ability to collaborate closely with engineering and data teams to deliver technically sophisticated platform capabilities (e.g., metadata capture, lineage, discoverability tooling).
- Experience defining and driving adoption and success metrics (e.g., usage, data discoverability, time-to-insight, user satisfaction).
- Proven ability to influence senior stakeholders and cross-functional teams on prioritization, governance, and trade-offs, and to clearly articulate the business value of data discoverability.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience leading enterprise-scale data platforms or data catalogs with broad adoption.
- Track record in platform governance, data quality, and self-service enablement.
- Expertise in metadata management and data discoverability, including lineage, certification, and data contracts.
- Experience building or integrating AI/ML-powered platform capabilities (e.g., semantic search, recommendations, NLP interfaces).
- Strong ability to influence architecture and operating models without direct authority.
- Experience using data to measure platform adoption, product health, and operational performance
